Important Safety Warnings

USE CARE: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is
operated by the U.S. Government, which is solely re­sponsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the
GPS network. The accuracy of position fixes can be
affected by the periodic adjustments to GPS satel­lites made by the U.S. government and is subject to
change in accordance with the Department of De­fense civil GPS user policy and the Federal Radion­avigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor
satellite geometry and obstructions, like buildings
and large trees.

USE PROPER ACCESSORIES: Use only Magellan ca­bles and antennas. The use of non-Magellan cables
and antennas may severely degrade performance or
damage the receiver, and will void the warranty.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION (FCC)
INTERFERENCE STATEMENT: This equipment has
been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide rea­sonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if
not installed and used in accordance with the in­structions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be deter­mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a cir­cuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference re­ceived, including interference that may cause undes­ired operation.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not ex­pressly approved by the party responsible for compli­ance could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure State­ment: This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environ­ment. End users must follow the specific operating
instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regula­tions, shielded cables must be used with this equip-

ment. Operation with non-approved equipment or
unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to
radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that
changes and modifications made to the equipment
without the approval of manufacturer could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment.

The Magellan MobileMapper 6 must be installed and
operated at a distance no closer than 8 inches (20
cm) from the user.

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements
of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment
Regulations.

Cet appareil numérique de classe B respecte toutes
les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur
du Canada.

IC STATEMENT: Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:

1. This device may not cause interference and

2. This device must accept any interference, in­cluding interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.

IMPORTANT NOTE: IC Radiation Exposure State­ment: This equipment complies with IC radiation ex­posure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. End users must follow the specific op­erating instructions for satisfying RF exposure com­pliance.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
